Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
Spring Training is just around the corner. Sadly, recently departed A’s legend Rickey Henderson will be absent from the clubhouse and greatly missed by coaches and players when pitchers and catchers report in Mesa next month. Martin Gallegos at MLB.com caught up with outfielder Lawrence Butler, starting pitcher JP Sears, and manager Mark Kotsay, who shared some of their favorite memories of the Man of Steal.
The A’s are preparing for their first season since leaving Oakland, the team’s home across six decades.
